Hey, any recommendations for a good offshore domain registrar that doesn't suspend domains out of the blue.
- Njalla ir a no go.
- Nicenic - disappointed after they suspended my domain with no legal basis from a simple complaint.
I need someone that supports .com domain transfers.
And suspended only with a valid court order of their jurisdiction.
Basically, a registrat that doesn't give a f.
Price is not an issue, can be $100-500+ year.

On a sidenote, would .cc or .shop would be a better idea for long-term?
Thanks!
Nah bro the method is do use .co.uk domains. Cost 2 billion a year though. Trust (this is satire).
Domains are gonna get taken down, flagged or whatever regardless whoever you use lol it just matters how smart you are moving ;)
There is no such thing as a bulletproof domain as all domain providers are registered with ICANN and will need to respond to abuse.
You can use domain providers like NiceNic who are on your side and will fight as long as possible, but you will not find a bulletproof registrar.
Don't listen to the average poster. 8/10 They didn't need real bulletproof services.
Checkout Virtualine and look no further.
Thank you @MarlboroMan for the mention and for recommending us - we appreciate it. We truly providing abuse resistant hosting services there for years.
However, it’s important to clarify a common misconception: domains can’t truly be bulletproof. Our specialty is hosting.
All TLDs are ultimately controlled by higher authorities such as ICANN, IANA, or the registry itself. For example, a .com domain is operated by Verisign - regardless of where you purchase it. Registrars are simply resellers and do not have full control over suspension decisions.
Because of this, no registrar or provider can guarantee immunity from abuse complaints or registry-level actions.
What can vary between providers is how they handle the process. From our side, we aim to be as fair and predictable as possible - after the first abuse notice, we keep the domain active for up to 7 days before taking any action, giving customers time to respond or migrate if needed.
Beyond that, no provider can realistically promise more without misrepresenting how the domain ecosystem actually works.
Hostcay ought to serve your needs.

Unfortunately, there is no bulletproof domain service.
Your registry is selling domains from a issuer. For example. operator for .com domains is Verisign which works with domain sellers (like Nicenic). Nicenic could ignore all requests, but if someone reports to Verisign directly (or the operator of your domain TLD) and files a report, the domain will be taken down most likely, no matter what Nicenic is ignoring.
There are just some TLDs that are operated by an organization which doesn't really care. Good example is .su (Soviet Union) which was operated by the Russian Institute for Public Networks and they didn't really care since Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore. Another example, .to (Kingdom of Tonga) used by many pirating website because the Tonga Network Information Center (tonic) doesn't seem to care about that.
If the authorities want to take you down, it doesn't matter which domain you use because you will be taken down.
If you want something that is really bulletproof, .onion is your choice. It's decentralized and difficult to take down. But comes with many cons

Thank you all for the advice. How about .cc domains? Is that as good as .to?

I've taken a look at your prices and offers and I quite like it.
So I presume you don't close down the website (not domain) from a single complaint?
I need to note that my site isn't hack, blackhat, spam, phishing, etc. It's simply "grey niche" even if that.
So if after a complaint you give the ability and time to transfer the website out - that also works for us.
We had a very bad experience with Hostinger previously when after a random complaint they even refused give access to our site and make backups to transfer out.

Hi, .cc domains are managed by eNIC which is a a VeriSign owned company. So most likely same as .com domains
Edit: I didn't try .cc domains yet, so I can't give good feedback of course
